Political Notes.

The Republican State Committee of Massa-
chusetts on Saturday elected Frederick l..
Benton, of Atleboro, Chairman. The Dem
ocratic State Committee elected ?. 4. Collins
chairman.
At the Ohio Club banquet in Cincinnati on
Saturday night, ex- Congressman John Follett
''lauded the ADMINISTRATION, advised Presi-
dent Cleveland to continue in the course be
has thus far observed, following the examples
of Jefferson and jackson, and predicted that
he would be his own successor"
The annual banquet of the Business Men S
Democratic Club of New York was held on
Saturday night. The occasion was intended
az reception to Gov. Hill, but he was unable
to attend, and sent telegram. VIM. A. Cole
presided. Speeches were made by Roswell
P. Flower, A. S. Sullivan and others.
Elk. Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, who was
interviewed in New York, said President
Cleveland is becoming stronger with the
masses every day. "He is" said Mr. Curtin,
|ho3est, and is obeying the civil service law,
and that maifes hin some enemies among the
ofhceholders, butthis only makes him stronger
with the people. He has to rely largely upon
the advice of others, and naturally has made
some mistakes. 1t would be utterly impos-
sible not to make some with such large
patronage at his disposal. As far as Penn
sylvania is concerned. it will favor his renom-
ination. There is little question in my mind
but that Cleveland and Blaine will be the
candidates Of their respective parties.

In reply to an inquiry from the Chicago

vice Commission says that the right to make
removals has not been taken from the ap-
pointing power, nor can the reasons for re-

hint that they are not bureau of informa-

rule has been violated. The Chicago organ

MEssRs. EDIrohs AsB RRADsRs Tho iss-
tive season is now over. and we have again
settled down to a matter Of fact life. So far
as we have heard no accident with explosives
occurred during the holidays.
We are in the midst of the hardest times
ever known here is the common verdict of all.
The chilly winds of winter sigh drearily
through the leaAess timber and over the brown
prairies and fields. and the temperature os-
casionally drops below freezing. But bright
metamorphosis will come. God, not man
avarcious man-rules the seasons, and in
few brief weeks this land will be resplendent
with the pleasing colors of the vernal season,
and redolent with the fragrance of floral veg
citation. And when we go after saddle pony
he will lilf bis paudal appendage on line
with the meridian, his head ditto, give feF-
rifed snort, and suddenly leave like he had
urgent business in an adjoining county. A
Texas youth will chase a pony five miles to
get to ride him one, and the pony when grass
is good) will, with equal perverseness, en-
deavor to prevent the cooperation.
1t seems to me that it does not require a
prophet with great forensic penetration to see
Why It is.that the condition of the poor is
growing worse, The propnrtiaa af nan PRO,
ducers is increasing, and they Insist on oh
tanning the necessaries Of life, Injuries, reyel-
ings, and fortune for their heirs. How is
this accomplished? By unfair dealing in
goods that the labor of others has produced
II . yard of cloth is worth one dollar, those
who produced it shngld get ninety nine cents,
and the merchant and manufacturer ole-hslf
cent each. If building is worth one million
of dollars, those whose labor produced it
should get nine hundred and ninety nine
thousand, and the individual who concentrated
the labor should get the odd thousand. But
unfortunately such is not the case. The
wealthy get the ''pile" and the laborer the
pittauce-the rich get the loaves and the poor
the crumbs. Some one is ready to say crank.
I have COME to the CONCLUSION that lot of
cranks ought 10 get hold Of the crank, and

The reduction in the marriage license fee
does not seem to have stimulated matrimo,
ny to any great extent in Carroll. There
were pa licenses issued from the Clerks
office in 1885, and but 235 in 1886, and the
reduction had been in effect six months of the
year. The state has lost considerable reve.
nue. and the people are no better off.
